They competed in duet competitions from a young age and played together in the Sean Nugent Ceili Band winning, an All Ireland title in the U18 Ceili Band competition.
More recently they played together, accompanied by Brian McGrath, on ‘The High Hills of Largy’, a CD featuring the compositions of the late Sean Nugent.
They also played together on ‘Geantrai’, TG4’s Traditional Music programme and have recorded for RTE’s ‘The Fleadh Programme’ which will air later in the year. Alongside Brian they feature on Hidden Fermanagh, a CD of Fermanagh music from the historic Gunn manuscript.
A combination of well known traditional tunes and more recently composed material, the CD has 15 tracks. A host of musicians from throughout Ireland will join Brenda, Annette and Brian on the night. Everyone is welcome.
